I thought I would show you some behind the scenes pictures of the lads at the shop. Everyday, as you know, the Micro Lads and Flynte come along with me to the shop when it is open with the girl and keep her company in case it is quiet.

What you may not know is that some other lads come along as well. One is Peter, who is pretty much one of us – he comes almost everyday. The other lads that come can be almost anyone. Here are a couple of pictures from last week to show you who popped along to keep the girl company.

Flynte did an accidental high kick when he sat down for this photo – he is ever so good at them. Here he is with the usual lads and Tommy V and Tod.

Flynte is also very good at looking like his is lounging and snoozing – he says he isn’t, he is very much alert and ready, it just appears that he is asleep. All the woodland crew came in this day – it was a very busy bag on the journey in.

Here is posh lad Barley and G who came in with us – Purple Ted has a tendency to be pesky if he thinks he can get away with it. G is a softy and usually lets him get away with is. Tsk.

So there you go – lots of lads doing top secret behind the scenes work at the shop. The only thing that the boy knows about what goes on is who comes to the shop – we send him a photo every day so he can see us. Apart from that a lad’s work is very hush hush you know.
